Today, I bought a brand new huge leather recliner. After laying down and watching football for some time, I sit up and hear a loud shatter. My iPhone was crushed by the mechanics of the chair after it slipped out of my pocket. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after calling the insurance plan for my new iPhone a "huge waste of money", I promptly dropped it in the store while trying to put it into my pocket, cracking the screen. FML
Today, I was lying on my recliner watching TV when I dropped the remote under the footrest. I got down on my hands and knees and pushed the footrest into the chair. The moment I touched the remote, the footrest deployed and hit me square in the face. FML
Today, I threw my brand new iPhone 4 in the air whilst laying on my bed. It came down, went through my fingers, landed on my balls, then broke on the concrete floor. FML
Today, I went to sit on a desk chair, which promptly rolled out from under me. This made me fall on my own foot, literally shattering two bones. I just bought a 9-month gym membership and can't use it because I wanted to sit down. FML
Today, I was at a pool party with some friends. They grabbed and lifted me in the air, about to throw me in the pool. My iPhone was in my pocket, so I screamed "MY PHONE!" They paused so I could gently throw it onto a deck chair. It bounced, hit the concrete, and cracked its screen. FML
Today, I bought an otter box. While setting up my iPhone, I dropped it and it is now shattered. FML
Today, I got home after a long day and collapsed onto my bed… forgetting I'd left my laptop open on it. Now I have an expensive, broken pillow. FML
Today, I was finishing up at the gym and packed my bag to come home. I set my phone on top of it for a second as I knelt down to tie my shoes. Less than a minute later, I grabbed my bag to walk out, forgetting that it was on top. It tumbled to the ground and smashed. Guess I need a new phone. FML
Today, I was at a party, and I sat down on a chair. While conversing with friends, I shifted places on the chair, and broke it. Embarrassed, I then stood up and change chairs. After moving to the next chair, I broke that one too. FML
Today, I was watching a movie on my chair. I leaned back on the back of the chair and kept leaning back. Then I slowly fell down with my chair, onto the floor. It made a big noise, but nobody was hurt, it was just really absurd, like I'd watched another episode of Mr. Bean. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It slipped out of his pocket. Don't be such a petty asshole.

Not being petty.. but if you had the cash equivalent of an Iphone in your wallet you wouldn't just let it slip out of your pocket... The amount of Iphone users who are "careless" with them then wahh about it when they break is redonkulous! If you don't want it broken then put it on the side... or a pocket that zips up.. you know... somewhere sensible.

Okay I see your point, but I would never suspect that a recliner would eat my phone lmao

I have to agree. I've had mine slip out of my pockets at home so often that I switched to a jacket with zipper pockets to make sure I wouldn't lose it elsewhere. I keep it in my sights at all times if it's not in a zipped pocket or in my hand.

If you've got something in your pocket all day, every day, things are bound to happen, more so if it's something you NEED. If it was, for example, the Hope Diamond, it would be stupid of him to let it drop. But since it's a cell phone, albeit an expensive one, it's not like he's going to hang on to it for dear life, or handcuff it to his wrist like it contains nuclear missile codes. Don't tell me you've never dropped your cell phone or had it slip out of your pocket.

I know ottervox is good for screen protection but there may be a few discrepencies with it's "antichair-compacting" feature. read fine print

otterbox rocks, and they are tough as nails, I work In law enforcement and everybody that carries any phone other than a old school flip phone uses the otterbox and a 5-11 tactical holster for it so it doesn't fall off our duty belts. it's a tight fit at first but the holster losens up after a while and the phone fits perfect in there otterbox and all.

There should be a section for iphones on this site. I've read so many crappy FMLs about people losing and breaking their iphones.

YDI for owning an iP - yeah, you know the rest.

Do you have apple care? if you go in and don't act like an asshole there's a pretty good chance they'll just replace it for free. Yes, it TECHNICALLY is supposed to cost $200 and apple care is NOT insurance, but they replace shit for free all the time just because. I had a cracked screen AND water damage and got a new one. If you JUST have a cracked screen and you have to pay, you might as well drop it in a bucket of water so you can get an entirely new phone instead of just a replaced screen.

What if they don't fix it, then you're screwed, idiot.
